Forums -> Multiple monitors -> OpenGL screensavers on TNT2 M64

I have 2 PCI TNT2 M64s on my k6-2 500 system. When I run the standard Windows OpenGL screensavers (eg. flower box) it runs very slowly across both screens, but when I disable one of the monitors/cards the screensaver runs perfectly. Accroding to the FAQ on this site the 6.18 drivers allow OpenGL on both screens but I am still getting shoddy performance. Is there any way round this?

As far as I know, the Windows OpenGL screen savers don't use hardware acceleration at all. I guess the slowdown occurs because of the larger rendering area. Try this: run UltraMon Screen Saver, with one of the OpenGL screen savers on the second monitor. It runs just as fast as on the primary in single-monitor mode, at least on my system.
